Fbackup warnings msg

[Vogra]

Hi All!
I'm using fbackup to our Oracle hot backup. All ok, but in the last 3 days the system show warnings messages and I don't know what was wrong. The /var/sam/log/br_index.full and /var/sam/log/br_log don't show me anything.
Any ideas?
note: after put tablespaces in begin backup, I backup all files.

Thanks.

What are the warning messages that you are seeing? If they're from fbackup, it could be that you're just trying to access open files.

the msg is only the following... and don't show possible file:

Full backup completed with warnings on vsurjux1 : Wed Dec 4 03:10:46 SAT 2002 .
For more information see the logfiles /var/sam/log/br_index.full
and /var/sam/log/br_log

OK,

That would suggest then that it is trying to backup open files, or temporary files that have been removed from the system (from cron jobs etc).

In general, these are not a major concern, unless it's one of your main data files that's open during the process.

If you run the backup with the -v option, it will display more details, which should allow you to find out which files are affected.

What does /var/sam/log/br_log say? I.e. the (e-mail?)message refers you to that file. Did you look at it?

well,
br_log get the msg that had warning and no more...

I modified line of fbackup to log anything and I will test...
thanx.

Can you please post the br_log file, i.e. the part from the start of the last (problem) backup, all the way to the end?

Frank,

the br_log is:
Full backup started on vsurjux1 : Wed Dec 4 00:30:07 SAT 2002 (Scheduled Backup)
{ fbackup -0 -u -g /etc/sam/br/bkp_online_oracle -I /var/sam/log/br_index.full -c /etc/sam/br/fbackup_config -d /var/
adm/fbackupfiles/dates -f /dev/rmt/3m } 2>&1
Full backup completed with warnings on vsurjux1 : Wed Dec 4 03:10:47 SAT 2002 .
Exit code = 4


But, last night I modified scrit to log some information and now I know what goes wrong... look at this:
I will post on another msg...
Thanx.
